Was going to post the same thing. Once he'd turned West Ham I thought the most we would get was £12m plus GArdner. So well done to Varney and Richard Murray for sticking to their guns. It also sends the signal that none of the so-called 'big guns' can come and rip us off in the future.
Entirely agree - the pressure to accept less must have been immense both in terms of the clubs financing requirements and in terms of doing right by Bent whose behaviour has been exemplary.

I realise that Spotty's departure was a few years ago, but getting a total of £26.5m for Bent and Parker is staggering, imho.
Good job
